Opening gameplay scene. The player awakens alone in a sparse dormitory room, sitting on the top bunk and staring at their hands. The room is neatly arranged with a ladder bed, cabinet, mirror, calendar, and personal items. Pale green walls, harsh lighting, and surveillance-like fixtures establish an unfamiliar, controlled environment.
